Discover super powered plants at Dobbies’ Little Seedlings Club
Dobbies’ free-to-attend children’s gardening workshop or the month of May, gives children the chance to discover the ‘Power of Plants’.
The session takes place on Sunday 3 May at the Antrim and Lisburn stores and will cover everything there is to know about different types of plants, the ways they protect themselves and their healing properties.
May’s Little Seedlings Club at Dobbies’ Antrim and Lisburn stores will explore the unexpected powers of plants, with a focus on climbing plants, carnivorous plants, healing plants, and will be looking at specific garden powerhouses, such as the Venus flytrap, climbing ivy, chamomile, aloe vera and many more.
Children will have the opportunity to join hands-on activities in a group setting alongside fellow young gardening enthusiasts.
In the May workshop, they will explore the soothing qualities of lavender and discover how it attracts essential pollinators to the garden.
Afterwards, each child will get to plant their own lavender pot to take home.
Dobbies’ Event Programme Manager, Ayesha Nickson, said: “The Power of Plants is an inspiring and important topic for our Little Seedlings to discover this May.
"Children taking part can get excited to learn about plants with special powers including the ability to climb, protect themselves, and healing properties.
“Dobbies’ Little Seedlings Club is a fantastic way to get children enthusiastic about spending time in their gardens and nature.
"The free workshops at our Antrim and Lisburn stores are designed to be engaging and encourage curiosity, and the hands-on activities are always a highlight.”
